POMONA (CBSLA) — Authorities said a male driver slammed into several cars Sunday after being shot.

CBS2’s Jeff Nguyen reported from the scene and spoke to neighbors who were shaken up.
He spoke to one woman who was in her front yard when the shooting began. She did not want her name or face used.
“We’re out here emptying out our car,” she said, “and we heard like six gunshots. And all of a sudden we were going to go back into the house but then we heard the cars crash up the street. So my son ran down the street to see if he could help. And I followed him. The gentleman was unconscious. Other people were trying to help him out. There was a nurse who lives around here She said not to move him.”
She said when the paramedics came they moved the man.
The SUV caused damage to several vehicles including one that sustained severe back-end damage.
Nguyen reported the man was found slumped over the steering wheel and unconscious.
